What the heck? Triple bug report
Trying game. Looks awesome.
Problems are:
Fighting a bat and some sort of slime, they both display in gray, but the battle never ends.
During the platoon-walking-right intro, I alt-tabbed to write this, and I think I breaked it.
And another one:
Battle mode, the game puts me against a snake, a scorpion, a spider, a bat, a skeleton and a slime.
They're all dead, except the slime... and I can't target it anymore.

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Hmm, all new issues to me. I'll look into seeing if I can reproduce the alt-tab issue, but the slime targeting issue I'll need more information.
When you can no longer target the slime, what happens? I mean if you go to select an action on a character and then a target, does the select target screen just display nothing? I've never seen this particular issue before and I've fought more battles than I care to count.
Does the problem happen if you go to "Battle" from the main boot menu and fight there?

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Can you reproduce this issue? Does this happen several time (i.e. is there a good chance of seeing this bug after - lets say - 5 fights or so).Psiweapon wrote: Fighting a bat and some sort of slime, they both display in gray, but the battle never ends.
Same. I guess, this is the battle right from the main menu, not inside the game. Does that happen more than once? If yes, maybe you can try to decrease the number of opponents for that fight (in dat/config/boot.lua -> function BootBattleTest()) and than to reproduce this issue. If the is possible, you can give some short explanation how to see this issue.Psiweapon wrote: Battle mode, the game puts me against a snake, a scorpion, a spider, a bat, a skeleton and a slime.

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Ok I'm going to try and see if I run into the same problems.
Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Cool, good luck.
The lines
obviously define your enemies in the sample battle.
The lines
Code: Select all
local battle = hoa_battle.BattleMode();
battle:AddEnemy(1);
battle:AddEnemy(2);
battle:AddEnemy(3);
battle:AddEnemy(4);
battle:AddEnemy(5);
battle:AddEnemy(6);
Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Ok I've fought a couple of battles in battle mode and another couple in story mode, and haven't run into the same bug. Perhaps it's my laptop's fault?
But I *have* found another bug, when meeting the other soldiers again before fighting the giant scorpion.
I was running around evading monsters, and when the dialogue popped out, it blocked the controls *without* stopping the character, so he kept running until reaching a wall. Happened twice.

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
That is what I feared. I don't believe it is a problem of your system cause I know from some other topics and also from talks to Roots, that there are some issues in the battle system that occure sometimes but not often.
For the new bug, can you exactly describe how to reproduce this bug?

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
I think I can:
Make sure that when you meet the soldiers at the underground river, you are moving around running. You must be running when the dialogue box pops out - the captain giving you some order?, and the character will become locked running in whatever direction he was doing so, until collision.

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Okay, same for me. I guess something is missing in the scripts for this event. I will have a look later (or maybe someone else will).
Thanks for reporting this bug.

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Have run into this one, couple of times, no idea about reproducibility though, its erratic is all I can say.Psiweapon wrote:Trying game. Looks awesome.

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Always with this both types of enemy or in any combination?
Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
so far with this combination only, will be playing quite a bit to see if it happens with others as well. As of now only with this combo. The caveat though is its erratic, DOES NOT happen everytime.

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Thanks for reporting this, it also happens for other events like discovering the corps and not only when running but also when walking.Psiweapon wrote: Make sure that when you meet the soldiers at the underground river, you are moving around running.

When I remember correctly this was not happening when I tried it last time (i.e. two weeks ago), so the bug should be easy to find.
Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
I added some functions to the events in the map, now the problem should not occure anymore (at least for this both events). I also tested all remaining events, they look good also.
Does there still some events exist, where movement is not stopped?

Re: What the heck? Triple bug report
Another thing probably connected to the alt-tab problem.
When moving the window (while not in fullscreen) during a cutscene (best option is the introduction in the desert), everything (except for me on Windows) is screwed up. This means, the other karlates stop moving or change direction, Claudius doesn't stop but also may change the direction (maybe due to blocking sprites of the other) is or completely block, so the animation is still shown but without any movement because other Karlates are standing around.
I don't know exactly if this may be caused by some global coordinate system (screens x and y and not window x and y) used. I can have a look later, but maybe some who has more knowledge about the video engine has a clue.
